214. The wrath of the Zen master
On March 27, 2014, the Lakers and Knicks game was about to begin, but the Zen master who had planned for the Knicks had already left Los Angeles for Chicago. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Zen master is a shrewd person, if he defeats the Lakers, of course he will unceremoniously stand up and say that he is planning, if he loses, it has nothing to do with him, and he is not on the scene.
The Zen master went to Chicago just to see one person, this person is T.N.T's commentator Steve Kerr, in addition to the Lakers and Knicks game today, of course, there are many other games, the matchup between the Pacers and the Bulls is also one of the games that many fans pay attention to, T.N.T TV sent Kerr and Pacers legend Reggie Miller to explain the game.
The guest commentator for the Lakers and Knicks is a funny trio who love Liu Ren beyond measure.
The Zen master only wanted to visit the Knicks as head coach next season, and in order to show his sincerity, he specially agreed to wait for him to come to Chicago to talk about his purpose.
As the third largest city in the United States, Chicago is naturally very prosperous, so the Zen master decided on the location of a high-end restaurant, and arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes in advance.
The Zen master is a very scheming man, and he is not afraid to pull down his skin, and he does everything he can to make it impossible for Cole to refuse his invitation.
If a Zen master knew that there was something called a box in China, he would definitely try to get one.
During the waiting period, the Zen master once again sorted out the wording he had prepared, recalled everything he had prepared, and decided that as long as he spoke, Cole would definitely have no way to refuse, so he calmly waited for Cole's arrival.
The Americans have always been punctual and make an appointment that they will never arrive early, and Cole was very moved to see that his mentor had come earlier than himself.
"Oh, Phil, we haven't seen each other in years, haven't we? What a pleasure to meet you! By the way, congratulations on becoming the president of the Knicks! Cole stepped forward and gave the Zen master a big hug.
The Zen master smiled kindly, looked Cole up and down, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, how have you been in the past few years?" Is your back injury okay? ”
Cole was even more moved when he saw that his mentor cared about him so much: "No problem Phil, my back injury is almost better, no, I am a commentator at T.N.T, and I can't stand it when I fly around all day to explain without an explanation." ”
"Hey, I asked you to be my assistant coach back then, and you couldn't pass the physical examination because of this back injury, otherwise the position of the head coach of the Lakers is yours now, and I know your talent better than anyone else." The Zen master said with a look of regret, and then motioned to sit down.
"Haha, it's okay, aren't I doing well now? Although the money for commenting can't catch up with being an assistant coach, let alone being a head coach, it's enough for me to spend. Kerr also sighed, in 03 he retired from the Trail Blazers due to injury, and after two years of rest, the Zen master who returned to the Lakers invited him to be an assistant coach, but because of a serious back injury, he couldn't even fly, and lost that very good opportunity, otherwise it was really the same as the Zen master said, and the position of the Lakers head coach after the Zen master was determined to fall on him.
But Kerr had a back injury that affected his coaching career, and he had to go to the Suns to be the general manager for three years, because the general manager didn't have to fly often.
"You know, when you played for the Spurs in the last few years, you were called the coach on the court, and even Duncan, the stone man, had to listen to you!" The Zen master sighed.
"Haha, it's all in the past, I'll be embarrassed to talk about it again, don't talk about this, Phil, you said you have something very important to talk to me about, or do you have to talk to me in person, what is the important thing?" Cole took the initiative to get up to business, and he was also curious about what the mentor he hadn't been in contact with for three or four years was looking for him.
Finally to the point! The Zen master just waited for Cole to ask the first question, so that it would not seem so abrupt.
The Zen master said solemnly: "I came today to make up for the regrets of the year, I want you to come to the Knicks as the head coach, now the Knicks are in ruins, but there is enough talent, I think it is very suitable for you to play your talent!" ”
Colton was embarrassed, his mentor had come all the way to find him and cater to him, just for this matter, it stands to reason that he couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to refuse, but he had already signed the contract!
Kerr could only say with a guilty face: "I'm sorry Fill, if you invited me three days earlier, I would have agreed, but I have promised Mr. Logo to go to the Warriors next season, we just signed the contract two days ago, and when my contract with T.N.T ends this season, I will go to the Warriors." ”
Cole now regrets a little, why did he agree without thinking about hearing the legend's words? Now he can't step down himself.
Jerry West!
Hearing this name, a trace of coldness flashed in the Zen master's eyes, and it was another good thing that this person had ruined him! He had already had a conflict with West, and now he is even more resentful.
"That's really...... Congratulations Steve, it's a shame that the two of us have to work together again. The Zen master made an open-minded appearance, not only did not express the anger in his heart, but had a sense of kindness.
I have to say that the Zen master is acting in every move, and maybe he himself has gone deep into the play, making Cole even more guilty.
Kerr said guiltily: "I'm really sorry Fill, I have signed a 3+2 contract with the Warriors, and we can only wait another three years if we join forces." ”
"Haha, it's okay, Steve, the Warriors are also a great team, they have great talent, I hope you can have a wonderful coach, maybe the two of us can meet in the Finals......"
The Zen master continued to say things that made Cole feel guilty, and although there was no way to get Cole to Knicks now, he might be able to use this relationship in a few years.
After returning to the hotel, the Zen master slammed the things in the room to soothe his anger.
Cole is definitely one of the best coaches on the free market, not one! Whether it was the Bulls, who won three consecutive championships in the future, or the Spurs locker room at the end of his career, Kerr was the most proficient tactic on the court, and he could often bring up the key points of victory that many Zen masters and Popovich did not notice.
But now that Cole is in charge, the Zen master has no choice but to give up and start his backup plan.
The Zen master of this backup plan really doesn't want to use it, although the candidate for the backup plan is very obedient, but his talent is really average, and he can only be a puppet when he is selected, and I don't know if this puppet can understand the tactics he wants to use, and Cole's coaching ability is far from his own school!
The helpless Zen master could only make a phone call and fly to Oklahoma City......
